Abreu went 2-for-5 with a double and two RBI in Monday's win against the Twins.

Abreu has pushed his hitting streak to 14 games and has recorded two or more hits in six of those contests. The slugging first baseman has been one of the most consistent hitters in the American League and is slashing an impressive .414/.460/.966 during his torrid 14-game stretch.

Freeman went 2-for-4 with a walk and a run scored in Monday's win over the Red Sox.

The first baseman didn't join in the extra-base hit parade, as five of Atlanta's 12 hits on the night were doubles or better, but Freeman still did his part to keep the line moving. The 30-year-old is having another spectacular season, and over the course of his current 14-game hitting streak he's slashing .392/.508/.627 with two homers, nine RBI and 11 runs.

Dalbec started at designated hitter and went 0-for-4 with four strikeouts in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Braves.

Dalbec followed up Sunday's MLB debut, when he homered in his first plate appearance, with a four-strikeout night. That aligns with his minor-league track record as a productive home-run hitter with high strikeout totals. The rookie will be challenged by MLB pitching in September, but the Red Sox are going to give Dalbec regular at-bats in preparation for what is expected to be an everyday role in 2021.

Hoskins went 2-for-4 with a homer, a double and three RBI in Monday's 8-6 win over Washington.

Hoskins started the Phillies off with a solo shot in the first inning before driving in another two runs with a seventh-inning double. The 27-year-old first baseman has gone deep in three straight games, giving him six long balls this season.

Voit went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Rays.

His eighth-inning blast off Edgar Garcia made things interesting, but the Yankees couldn't complete the comeback. Voit has now left the yard eight times in his last 12 games, and on the season he's slashing .301/.363/.709 with 13 homers and 26 RBI through 29 contests.

Hiura went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a hit-by-pitch in Monday's 6-5 win over the Pirates.

Hiura took Pirates starter Trevor Williams deep in the fifth inning, ending the latter's appearance. The 24-year-old Hiura has produced solid power (eight homers, .427 slugging percentage) and speed (three stolen bases) this season. He's added 18 RBI and 19 runs scored.

Goldschmidt went 3-for-3 with a walk, a double, two runs scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Monday's 7-5 win over the Reds.

The veteran slugger continues to rake. Goldschmidt is slashing a mammoth .349/.486/.530 through 26 games with three homers, 11 RBI and 17 runs, while Monday's steal was his first of 2020.

Cooper went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Monday's 5-3 win over the Mets.

Cooper's solo long ball off Jacob deGrom sparked a four-run Marlins rally in the sixth that ultimately proved to be the difference in the ball game. It marked the second homer for Cooper, who has gone 5-for-18 with four extra-base hits since returning from the injured list on Aug. 28.

Diaz exited Monday's game against the Yankees due to tightness in his right hamstring, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Diaz is considered day-to-day and will be evaluated further Tuesday. Joey Wendle shifted from second base to third base and Brandon Lowe moved from right field to second base. Hunter Renfroe replaced Diaz as the new right fielder.

Mariners manager Scott Servais said Monday that he will try to give France everyday at-bats the rest of the season, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Despite tearing up the Pacific Coast League with a 1.247 OPS across 348 plate appearances in 2019, France was unable to get an extended look in a full-time role in San Diego this season or last. After acquiring France on Sunday, the rebuilding Mariners will likely be more patient in seeing if the 26-year-old can translate his monstrous minor-league production to the game's top level, as Seattle has lacked few impact bats this season beyond third baseman Kyle Seager and center fielder Kyle Lewis. Though the hot corner is France's natural position, he'll likely see most of his initial starts with the Mariners at second base or at designated hitter. Before he's added to the active roster, France will first have to pass COVID-19 intake testing, a process that should be completed by Wednesday, according to Greg Johns of MLB.com.
